"Mexican witnesses identified the suspect shot and killed as Jose Alfredo Yañez Reyes according to a news release from the San Diego chapter of the ACLU. The organization cited reports from witnesses who said he was with his wife and baby on the Mexican side of the border before the shooting.

Mexico's Foreign Relations Department says in a Wednesday statement that it has asked for a thorough investigation of the death.

It says it was "disproportionate" for the officer to use firearms to repel an attack with stones."

What do they want the US to do, throw stones back? Will border patrol officers be equipped with little bags of rocks to toss back? Is this what the Mexican-Indians envision for the future? The return to the stone age?

Will border patrol agents now have stones and sling-shots? Why not get rid of the vehicles to make it more fair? The agents can chase the Indians on foot.

It says it was "disproportionate" for the officer to use firearms to repel an attack with stones."

You see this sort of idiocy all the time from people who are ignorant of the realities of weapons and real world defence shooting. I hate to break it to you, but primitive weapons can be quite deadly within their proper range. A largish rock to the head can kill you just as readily as a handgun bullet. A knife is arguably MORE deadly than a pistol at contact ranges. Etc...

But nice shot on the part of the border patrol! That's one les invader we have to worry about.
